    Question are ADR's flexible?

    in march, I will be going to wdw for my senior trip. My friends and I get to book restaurants soon!! With dinner restervations, it might be 2 of us eating or 20 of us.
    My question is: are the ADR's flexible? ex) can we tell them we are a party of 5 and bring 4 or 3, or even bring 6?

    In my experience, bringing fewer people is never a problem, as they can give you the same table but you don't fill all the seats.

    As for bringing extra people,it depends. If you're a party of three and you bring an extra person, it probably won't matter because there aren't tables with only three seats (or, at least not that I've seen).

    If you're adding a person/people that will require a larger table, you may have to wait until a larger table opens, but with the Dining Plan being so popular, that may be very difficult to do, as many restaurants are full.

    Don't count on being able to bring extra people. Due to the popularity of the ddp many restaurants are at capacity a good bit of the time and, due to fire code and their own internal policies if your ADR is for 5 you can't bring 6. The only way that could happen is if they weren't busy when you arrived and weren't planning on being busy for a while. Since March is a popular time that isn't likely. 4 isn't really a problem, but they prefer that you be exact.

    1) There ARE tables for three people.
    2) Especially with WDW crowding more tables into eateries.
    3) Typically, the table is against a wall with three chairs.
    4) If you bring four people, they won't fit at the table.
    5) It is getting harder and harder to add people to ADR's.

    I think occasions happen where people can't come to dinner (i.e. sick) But when you start adding people to the ressies, you need to be considerate of the CMs trying to find more places to sit and the other guests who may also be inconvenienced.

    You can't add people. I had to change an ADR I made for this coming Oct last month and instead of adding the two extra people they had to redo my whole ADR and I was given a different time (and that was 4 months in advance). I would get a definate count of your party before you call to make your ADR's because adding people later could cause you to lose your spot.
